Governments don't necessarily have the connection between your ID and what you do online, though, and some governments are known to massively buy publicly available data from data brokers to circumvent existing laws. By "some gove

The technology was first released into the public 4 years ago. Now it's proving major theorems in research mathematics. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this might indicate an extinction-level shift over the next few hundr

Academic work is based on worldwide sharing, the sharing is not the problem, it's the lack of attribution. Unsurprisingly, these companies neglect standards of academic honor and attribution. Some human researchers also used to do that

I don't trust your judgment, it's in my opinion even hilarious given that we're talking about companies worth almost a trillion dollar (4 trillion in the case of Google). Be that as it may, it was nice chatting with you!

It's trivial and a solved issue for the companies developing frontier AI models. Obviously, you don't even need AI for searching every prompt every user has ever written to find interesting topics, but you can create automated sum

I have the setting turned on in Gemini Pro even though I work on proprietary code because 1. the setting allows for some (very limited) "memory", and 2. I consider my source code almost public even when it's not open source b

It seems completely trivial to feed sessions to their own LLM and ask it to look for various things in them, from detecting problematic use cases to finding interesting mathematical work.

That sounds a lot to me like a lie.

Based on publicly available evidence, we should believe the former because AI models have made continuous advances that have been measured. The idea that the continuous advances will stop currently has no evidential support. I'm not sa

According to the information I have, the CIA is unlikely to be involved with SIGINT of that type. It's just not their role. I agree that most of the information the NSA might collect will come from publicly available sources like data

If I was the director of an agency of the size of the NSA and was evaluating the options purely from that perspective, I'd aim at creating a file on every living citizen on earth, including their social network topology and their activ

The author might not be aware of it but there have been extensive discussions and work about such terms in the philosophy of language in the past two decades (and earlier). I've heard whole lectures about whether fruit salad really is

It literally prepares the audio for export, though. There is an export setting that allows you to choose the audio codec, channels, encoders, target true peak or LUFS level, and then normalize or "optimize" (built in limiting and

Why should alleged "cybercriminals" not be be allowed to register domain names? There are procedures of seizing domain names in various countries, and these are in my opinion already somewhat questionable, but the premise of this

Technically speaking, you cannot put lettuce in a Greek salad because it will by definition cease to be a Greek salad once lettuce has been added. Edit: Wait a moment. You can put lettuce i a Greek salad. It just happens not to be a Greek

AFAIK, "America First" is a Russian misinformation campaign designed to weaken the US.

Right, 2FA. My bank wants me to log in to my phone app and then sends an SMS to the same phone to confirm the app transaction. It's super-secure.

I'm assuming the FBI is investigating in all of those cases and, if there is a further threat, will close down those companies / arrest their management? Or is this a case of "hey look, our bots are doing illegal things but w

> some quality "literature", of some form In my opinion, we will continue to need fully educated people who read books and peer-reviewed articles. We need literature, not "'literature', of some form."

I only use web chat with copy&paste and file upload option. Anything else I don't trust, especially since the people who create AI harnesses and apps use AI to develop them.

The problem with native apps are the app stores and their requirements. For true cross-platform, you need to develop for 5 platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), each with their own technology, favored programming language and eco

It annoys me that recently people seem to propagate the wrong use of em dashes. There is no space—an em dash is practically never typeset with spacing. You use an en dash in European typesetting – they have spaces, which your typesetting sy

Gemini Pro has become so bad for my purposes -- copy & paste Go programming and code analysis with the web GUI -- that I'll take any model with equivalent capabilities at the same price or lower. I don't care where it comes fr
